FAQs
Are the New Balance 2002R trainers suitable for running?
While they offer excellent cushioning for walking and daily wear, the 2002R Protection Pack is primarily designed as a lifestyle and casual trainer, not for high-performance running.
How do I clean the suede overlays?
Use a specialized suede brush to remove dry dirt. For stains, a suede eraser or a dedicated suede cleaner can be used, always testing on a small, hidden area first.
What material is the upper made of?
The upper is constructed from a combination of blue mesh, white leather accents, and navy suede overlays.
Do these trainers run true to size?
Sizing can vary slightly between individuals. It is recommended to check customer reviews or consult New Balance's sizing chart for guidance. Some users find they run slightly large.
Can I wear these in wet weather?
The materials, particularly suede, are not ideal for prolonged exposure to heavy rain. While they offer some protection, they are best suited for dry or mildly damp conditions. Consider waterproofing treatments if frequent wet weather use is anticipated.
What is the main benefit of the "Protection Pack" design?
The "Protection Pack" refers to the distinctive, deconstructed suede overlays with jagged edges, which offer a unique aesthetic appeal and add a layered, durable look to the shoe.
What sizes are available?
These trainers are available in various adult UK men's sizes. Please refer to the product listing for specific available sizes.
Troubleshooting
Uneven fit or discomfort
Ensure laces are adjusted properly. Check if the size is correct for your foot; consider trying a half size up or down if experiencing significant discomfort.
Suede appearing worn or stained
Use a dedicated suede brush to restore the nap. For stains, use a suede eraser or cleaner, following product instructions carefully.
Laces fraying or breaking
Replace laces with a new pair. Ensure they are tied securely but not excessively tight to avoid undue stress.
Discoloration on white leather parts
Gently clean with a damp cloth and mild soap. For stubborn marks, use a leather cleaner appropriate for white leather.

Care:
